I am now able to successfully get a handle on a particular
IConnectionProfile via the ProfileManager object.

How can I get the meta data content from that connection profile and use it
in another plugin (rather than just viewing it as a user)?

Obviously, I must connect first.

Thanks,
Chuck

Let me be more specific:

How can I get a handle on a
(org.eclipse.datatools.modelbase.sql.schema.)Database object
given a connection profile?

Thanks,
Chuck

In SQL Dev Tools, we have a utility method ProfileUtil.getDatabase, which
does exactly what you want, although this is not API and we can not
guarantee its stability. In fact, you can see that the parameter
DatabaseIdentifier asks more than what this method needs: a profile name is
sufficient. So we'll overload this method with a profileName as the
parameter later.

I believe this method or a similar one should be part of the public API -
don't you?

If you want people to leverage the work that you've done, then you should be
able to programmatically access the contents of the connection profile (not
just as a user).
I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do that.

Thank you very much for your help.
